Image maximality conjecture for the DH-matrix

Let D{\bf D} be the DH-matrix, and say that a matrix is image maximal when it is not properly image dominated by any image partition regular extension. The preceding theorem states that every image partition regular matrix obtained from D{\bf D} by adjoining finitely many rows is image dominated by D{\bf D}.

Image maximality conjecture. The system D{\bf D} is image maximal.

The theorem establishes only finite image maximality: every finite-row image partition regular extension is image dominated by D{\bf D}. The conjecture strengthens this to image maximality without the finite-extension restriction; the supplied text does not state whether it has been resolved.
